Pokemon: Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald
By: Daronta
Chapter 13: VS Carvanha
[Verdanturf Pokemon Center]
"Your pokemon are all set, Brendan Ruby." Nurse Joy reported to Brendan, in the lobby, pacing frantically.
"What about Eevee?" He asked ignoring the news.
"Eevee is doing fine, she was quite exhausted."
"Eevee's a boy," Brendan corrected her.
Okay, just go along with it. Nurse Joy sweats a bullet. "Oh, you're right, your Eevee is a boy, either way he's fine."
"Thank you, Nurse Joy."
She gives him his pokeballs and he places them on his belt. He took Eevee's ball and whispers to it. "I know it's a bit early for a battle now but I need you in Mauville City." He puts the pokeball away and walks out of the Center.
[Sea Route 109, Slateport Beach]
"Thanks again for the ride, Captain Birney." May said waving to the traveling sail boat.
"Don't mention it May!" Birney waved good-bye, starting the boat.
May stopped waving when the boat sailed out of sight and turned toward the beach.
Brawly said I was supposed to meet someone when I got here. May surveyed the island for anyone out of place. Suddenly she feels a draft followed by the sound of the water splashing behind her.
Three small, rounded sharks sprang forth from the shore. May reacts instantly, throwing out her pokemon.
"Car-Van- Ah!"
"Kitty, Attract!" The pokemon materialized in the center of May and the shark pokemon. It turned into a pink kitten that immediately chases its tail generating a sphere of small pink hearts around it and May, hitting the rampaging sea animals.
Pokedex:
CARVANHA's strongly developed jaws and its sharply pointed fangs pack the destructive power to rip out boat hulls. Many boats have been attacked and sunk by this POKEMON. If anything invades CARVANHA's territory, it will swarm and tear at the intruder with its pointed fangs. On its own, however, this POKEMON turns suddenly timid.
"Wow, Thank Groudon, Brawly taught me that cute contest move." May sighs in relief.
"So, Brawly was right about you," A feminine voice commented from behind May.
May looked over and notices a girl in a blue bandana with long, curly, orange hair was kneeling before her.
"Master Wallace wishes to speak with you, May Sapphire of Littleroot Town." The red-head informed her.
"Master Wallace?" May replies to the girl's request. "Of Ever Grand?"
"THAT WAS PERFECT!" A voice of a man standing on top of a sun umbrella exclaims in overwhelming amazement.
"For a beginner to pick up such an adorable pokemon, perfect a move that defeats three ferocious pokemon with dazzling cuteness is Tres Bein." The man closes his eye and poses as if he was basking in the beauty of the moment.
Is everyone in Team Aqua this beautiful? May wondered, after seeing the three members so far.
"That Skitty, also brings out the cuteness in her trainer as well." Wallace continues to praise May.
May's cheeks turn a light pink. "Really?"
"Yes, but not nearly as much as me." Wallace pointed out bluntly.
May pouts, this guy is really conceited.
"Umm, Master Wallace, as much as I love to hear you talk about pointless contest attacks," the red-head sarcastically said. "I think we should talk more about the mission."
"Right, that's why I love having you here, Angie." Wallace acknowledges her.
"Whatever," she turns away from him.
"Alright, let me start by saying, that you, May, have proven yourself through appeal but now for the real test."
"Okay, just tell me what to do." May insisted.
"Good, from here on, Angie is your master and our first mission is to get the plans from Mr. Stern."
[Slateport City]
A man who was slightly balding with brown hair and wore a bored expression on his face sat at a desk surrounding by paper work.
"Nothing interesting ever happens to me, around here." He complains.
A sphere of mist suddenly forms around him, blinding him. Angie appears on his desk and grabs him by the collar of his shirt. "Where's Captain Stern!"
"I- I don't know!" he stutters.
Angies waves her hand, the mist clears, revealing the three small orange lobsters with large claws, encircling the man.
"He's at the Slateport Museum!"
"Thank you sir," she lets go of him and talks into her watch. "Did you get that, sir?"
"Marvelous, just marvelous!" Wallace praises her.
"Is that a yes?"
"Why of course, I have the grunts at the museum right now as we speak, report back soon." Wallace hangs up, May stands next to him waiting for her next orders.
"Ready?" Wallace turns to May.
"Always," May cheers.
"Then let's go."
[Slateport Museum]
The windows were cracked and broken into to, the clerks at the counter tremble behind the register to the floor. May walks in and finds the two female clerks on the floor. It was filled with Aqua grunt randomly destroying the place.
"Hi, do I pay to get in?!" May asks them cheerfully.
"Umm," The clerks hesitated in answer her question.
Doesn't she see that this is a heist? Wallace follows May, staring at her from behind, with a cynical look on his face.
"Umm, May I'll handle the pay," Wallace assures her. "Why don't you search upstairs?"
"Roger that!" May exclaims and runs deeper into the museum.
"Don't worry ladies, I Wallace of Team Aqua, will not allow any harm to come to you two." Wallace comforts them then quickly flashes his pearly-white teeth.
The girls sweated bullets and giggled sheepishly.
May spots a young man in his twenties, at the least, glancing at a blue orb. She walks closer toward him but before she can reach him, an explosion came from the roof and two grunts in red suit fell in and surrounded him.
"Why, Hello Captain Stern!" One of the red grunts said in a sadistic way. "We're here for the plans."
"Hey, that's not fair," May whined. "I was gonna take the plans first."
"Well boo-hoo little girl," the second grunt said hatefully. "We got to him first."
"Do I have a say in this?" Captain Stern cowers.
"NO!" All three of them yelled.
"Aww," the captain sulks.
"I'm not letting you guys take the plans!" May promised herself, throwing up two pokeballs.
Skitty and a yellow, black, feminine pokemon appeared from their pokeballs.
"Wow, a kitty and a Mawile, Hey Butch look at this!" One of the grunts teased.
"Hahaha, you call that pathetic team a threat!?" Butch laughs hysterically.
The both of them threw out two Mightyenas while laughing. "Go, get 'em!"
"Kitty, Attract, Wile-Wile show them you're more than just a pretty face!"
Skitty growls a sphere of spinning hearts that hit the hyena pokemon while Mawile blew kisses at the grunts before turning around and reveal it's jaws that snarled as it opened wide.
The grunts screamed and their pokemon were immobilized. May smiled grabbing the plans, "I'll take this."
Wallace made his way up the stairs and finds the red grunts cowering in the corner with Captain Stern.
"What happened?" Wallace notice May heading for the stairs.
"Nothing," May smiles innocently as Skitty happily follows. Mawile pouts with dignity as she follows her trainer.
It's like her pokemon share her personality. Wallace thought for a moment then followed May down the stairs.
"Was I just robbed or saved?" Captain Stern asks himself in-between the scared grunts.
"This is the place," Brendan told himself as he stood in front of a power plant in Mauville City. "Get ready Wattson, We're here to take you down."
